RE: Mono-Meals of Fruit, Poo-Poo and My Existential Crisis of Today
Yes! I love monomeals : ) I often get in the mentality when making a meal that the more variety I add the broader the nutrient profile becomes so that makes the meal better, and while that may be true, it's easy to burden the body with complicated combos. With fruit, especially in the summertime, it's refreshing to have a meal that's so radiantly flavorful and provides such a clean energy. Since fruits are mostly water too there's nothing easier on the body and their deeply hydrating. It really drives home the point that sometimes, less is more. Whether it's something light like watermelon or a slightly heavier option like durian (my favorite food : D), by only having 1 type of food at a time, we can really get more energy than if we had a diverse meal. The more types of food eaten at once, the more enzymes are needed to break it all down, monomials are the closest thing to fasting because of how easy they are on the system and I so look forward to summer when the fruits are abundant and simple meals become more effortless. Thank you for putting this article together, it's fantastic!
